Forum Page Layout

I would like the pages for the forums to NOT have a sidebar and to fill up the page (and sidebar area). There’s not sidebar showing, but the area is white space. I want the forum pages to fill up the entire page. Did that make sense?

Your best bet would be to create a custom page template for your WordPress theme where you basically display the header and footer without the sidebar.

Create three custom templates, sidebar, left sidebar and right sidebar, for your default page.php file in your wordpress theme make it so it doesn’t have any sidebars. Then by default bbpress will use this page to display the forum.
